Brand Ambassadors

Meet the Sporting Equals Ambassadors who are flying the flag for diversity in elite sport, and helping promote a healthy, active lifestyle.

Sporting Equals Ambassadors are high profile, talented sports personalities who have agreed to help us promote equality and diversity in sport and physical activity. They are working with us to improve both opportunities and health outcomes for under-represented communities.

All our Ambassadors are inspiring individuals who work as role models and spokespeople on our behalf: headlining our campaigns, talking to communities and sports organisations and using their experience and profile to help get our message across.

Our Ambassadors are committed to increasing the number of people from black and minority ethnic communities who participate in the world of sport and physical activity, as players and competitors, as volunteers and coaches and in management.

If you would like to nominate an individual to be a Sporting Equals Ambassador or for more information about the programme please contact the Marketing team at Sporting Equals by email: info@sportingequals.org.uk, or telephone: 0121 777 1375
